Putting these two illos together for no particular reason :) (Top one is a redraw of a screengrab, and I am forever pissed that we never got a repeat of it in canon. Oh the power of a single beautiful scene that we only see for 1 second haha.)

Takes a break from drawing dtb to draw more dtb 🤡

Short post: I need to attend a film festival soon or I will perish! Long post: I've been watching a show on tv where filmmakers travel the world and make short films and it's making me yearn for a curated screening of films about things I've never heard of by people I've never heard of.

I wonder what it feels like to be normal about media. Wish I knew what that was like.

This set turned out cute.

Every day when working on a huge self-inflicted fanwork project I think to myself 'imagine what I could make if I put all this energy into my own IP' but then I remember that I love making fanworks more than I love my own IP haha. Make the things that bring you joy, etc etc.

I just need to cheer about hitting the half way mark of my fun little dtb illo project. It is going well 💪🎉

I wrote up a shot analysis of Darker Than Black :) ellipsus.com/read/24QCGK6... It is very image heavy and it has not been proofread. You do need to already be familiar with the show to understand everything in here, sorry. Please give it a read, I worked hard on it :)

Some heibai doodles, for those that partake. I was trying to think of a way to make season 2 canon enjoyable to me but it involves keeping all the gender and the dead dove, and removing all the religion, which leaves you with something similar to what season 1 gave us anyway 🤔

Something something the fluidity of moratoriums and dolls and contractors something something.

Been going sillycrazy over this song for a week straight 🤡 www.youtube.com/watch?v=juFB...

Today is my 5 year stroke-versary! Please remind yourself of the signs of stroke so you can save someone's life like someone saved mine: Remember: F.A.S.T!

LRT ah, I just looove Reiniger's films. Animation is so cool, guys. Hope you all know this haha.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed just turned one hundred years old. It's still among the best movies ever made. For the film's birthday, we're sharing Lotte Reiniger's wonderful firsthand account of its creation: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-tha...

THIS IS THE LAST DAY TO SUPPORT THE CROWDFUNDR!! Do you like physical media? How about an independent queer artist who lost work to the itchio nsfw ban? Do you like GAY ANGELS AND DEMONS having beautiful fraught mythic entanglements in the underworld? GRAB SOME BOOKS crowdfundr.com/secondbody

Just felt like doodling them today :)

A fresh post for the second half of the month! Funding now, THE MYTHIC BODIES is an erotic tale of the Rosefinch, a prideful angel who falls into the hands of the Night Prince, a secretive old demon who delights in challenging the finch's notions of sin and purity 🔞 crowdfundr.com/secondbody

Something something comfortable cages something.

It's so weird how some things you can sketch up almost-perfect first try and others you only get right on like, the fourth rework. Oof.

NOW LIVE! Prideful angels, sinful demons, scheming princes and petty gods! The crowdfundr for the sequel to THE NIGHT PRINCE & THE ROSEFINCH is officially accepting pledges! Help me fund another beautiful softcover queerotic book with a fresh cover by @sjmillerart.com crowdfundr.com/secondbody

I finally drew him... it's his year.... I am going to sit on this for a while bc I have no idea how I want to render this. Colours will happen eventually... Sorry you have to see my silly guides, this is why my head hurts when I draw haha 😔

I didn't appreciate whatever was going on between these two back in the day, but I sure am appreciating it now!!!

Forever cursed with wanting to learn how to build rigs. Got new anim software so I will be teaching myself this year. I wanna make a Val rig!!! Maybe Hunter too if I have energy. Here are my loose ideas.

I like the mini ones the best!

Kiyopiii~⭐ (Huang is my OG babygirl btw)

Some people wanted to see more of Yin using a white cane :)c

I made another button Yin too :D

I'm going to simplify them much more next week, but this first draft version of Ferdie is so friend-shaped and I want to preserve it haha.

Buttons!!!! (and belt buckles)

I can never decide if I want to draw April round or spiky (or a mix of both) 😔

Shh, they're investigating........ I just really want to see Misaki either joining the Kurosawa Detective Agency or stating her own rival PI business and getting continuously roped into Gai and Kiko's antics!!! 😂

I find Misaki so difficult to draw :')

I realised the only way I was ever going to see Tadashi longboard dancing is if I drew it myself 😔 I started this last year, but now I don't wanna clean it up 😭 Please imagine he's using Adam's board. Roto'd from this vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNET...

o|-<

Some scraps I'm not gonna clean up further.

The rare occasion where the sketch IS the final.

LRT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙌👌🤌🫶🎉

More painting practice! I was too afraid if I kept noodling then I would ruin what I had (has happened many times) haha. I definitely feel like something has clicked, but the process unfortunately still feels like pulling teeth 😔

I had made this just in case my first week at the new dayjob went badly, but it went completely fine. I had nothing to worry about haha 💪😤

(I think handdrawn animators are the strongest people in the world and I respect them so much. My weak rig animator constitution couldn't handle a week as a handdrawn animator, I know this to be true in my heart haha.)

nyooom💨

I got nervous about starting a new contract next week bc I haven't animated a single thing on my 2 month break OTL. A little practice to prove to myself that I can still do my job 😵‍💫

repel►►►◄◄◄attract or something, I dunno. They're circling.

This is meant to be a (batting) cage, but I am very aware it does not look like that haha. I sketched in my actual real life sketchbook for once hooly dooly :o

🕷️🚬KNIVES IN YOUR EYES🔪👁️ fans, please look at this giant document of Roo's KIYE tweets I've screengrabbed and attempted to sort by character: write.ellipsus.com/edit/b6c98f6...

Time to shout enthusiastically about Roo's books!!! Every book has at least one (1) guy who is SO unsettling and strange that it wraps right back around to being charming. "What is wrong with this guy?" you are going to ask yourself frequently. He will become your favourite.

Every year I do a kazetsuyo rewatch and I doodle something while watching. Sometimes those doodles turn into a bigger piece.

Aotake! I remember seeing some portraits by mariapicasso and wanting to try some similar shapes.

It's time for my annual Run with the Wind rewatch!!!!! 🏃 Here are some of my illos from 2019. I love kazetsuyo with all of my heart!
